Fairy Cave After our introduction to Kuching at the Da-Light Food Court, we take a 45-minute drive to the outskirts of Bau, a former gold mining town, to Fairy Cave (Gua Kapor) and Wind Cave (Gua Angin).

In 2009 I wrote a post about the then-new McDonald’s Grand Angus burger. At the time, Jac proclaimed the Grand Angus to be the best McDonald’s burger she’s ever eaten. The three things which impressed her were: The beef had great flavour and was a decent thickness – a really good, meaty chew, just how […]

She liked it because: 1) the beef had a great flavour and was a decent thickness – a really good, meaty chew, just how […]
MondayBreakfast, first day back at the old job in East Perth – one of J’s mystery lunch bar toasted ham and tomato sandwiches, on multigrain bread. The bread had been lightly buttered before toasting so it was golden-brown and extra delicious. Lunch was from the Monday bain marie special from 88 Royal lunch bar (88a […]
Sponsored by Nuffnang The nice people at Nuffnang invited me to take part in a promotional campaign for John West Tuna & Beans. They sent me a free sample of the product and laid down the challenge: to make a meal that is healthy and easy using the Tuna & Beans. :-D I’ll get to […]
This was a kind of naughty junk food bento – a McDonald’s bento, with Chicken McNuggets and a sachet of tomato sauce, and a McDonald’s apple pie for dessert.
